GENERATOR SYSTEM
(OPTIONAL)
________________
You may have chosen as an option when
you purchased your 352 MY, a Generator
System, manufactured by Kohler Company
and factory installed at the Silverton plant. If
your 352 MY is equipped with gasoline pow-
ered engines, the generator will have an 7.3
kilowatt rating and if equipped with diesel
powered engines, the generator will have a
8.0 kilowatt rating. As discussed in the Fuel
System Section of this Owner’s Manual,
fuel is supplied to the generator from either
fuel tank, depending on your selection at the
Generator Fuel Selector Valve (Refer to
the Fuel System Section on Page 73 for
information concerning the Generator Fuel
Selector Valve). The Generator System is
controlled by a breaker switch, located on
the AC/DC Electrical Panel (See AC/DC
Electrical Panel on Page 159, which il-
lustrates the location of the breaker switch
that controls the Generator System). The
system START and STOP switch is also
located on the AC/DC Electrical Panel as
is a slide bar switch that permits you to
change from generator electrical power to
shore electrical power as desired. The Gen-
erator System is located in the generator
compartment, which is accessed through a
fl oor hatch in the Galley fl oor (See photo-
graph below, which illustrates the location
of the Generator System and the generator
compartment access hatch).
Operation of the Generator System is as
follows:
Turn ON the Generator System battery
switch.
Check sea strainer for debris and re-
move, if noted
Be certain the seawater intake valve that
services the generator is in the OPEN
position. The valve is open when the
handle is parallel to the valve body (See
photographs below, which illustrate the
location of the generator seawater in-
take valve and its OPEN and CLOSED
positions).
Turn ON the breaker located on the
generator.
Move slide bar switch to generator
power mode.
Operate generator compartment blower
motor for at least fi ve (5) minutes before
starting generator and continue to run
while operating your yacht below cruis-
ing speed.
Check for presence of Gasoline odor in
the bilge.
Gasoline vapors in the bilge
can cause explosion and fi re aboard your
yacht.
